Other declassified materials show that the Russian intelligence reports Gabbard cited were already found to be “objectively false.”

Sen. Marco Rubio in 2020 concluded there were “extensive” efforts by the Kremlin to meddle in America’s 2016 election.

CNN National Security Analyst Beth Sanner accused the Trump administration of aiding Russia after the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, declassified a report prepared by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence back in 2020 on Wednesday.

The director of national intelligence claims intelligence officials in the Obama administration distorted claims about the 2016 election.

Gabbard’s comments come amid the declassification of a trove of documents from the U.S. intelligence community that claim the Obama administration politicized intelligence.
